Dark Sky Films are best known for bringing good quality DVDs of obscure horror and exploration films to the masses. Now they venture into the field of film production with Plague Town.
A family trip to the Irish countryside to build bonds across some severly dysfunctional rifts leaves the family stranded overnight without prospect of food or shelter. Finding an abandoned car by the roadside is the first in a chain of events that will lead to the torture and slaughter of the misfit family at the hands of the countries hidden and deformed offspring.
Director David Gregory has cut a swathe through the DVD extra features world delivering most of the extra content that comes packaged on Dark Skys releases. Here he shows his tastes with a genuine tribute to 70s drive in horror in a nasty little tale enhanced with European flavour despite being filmed entirely in the States. A stunning and dischordant soundtrack create a startling counterpoint to the dark grimy photography and the haunting giggling deformed children. A pleasure for those who like horror stripped to it's roots.
Next off the production slate is Ti (The Roost, Cabin Fever 2) West's House Of The Devil and I for one can't wait.
A full on erection.
